100 Things I Connect With – Part 1: In Me

So I talk a lot about connection (not sure if you noticed that yet…) but what exactly am I talking about? Connect to what? With what? For what?

Well, you can connect to pretty much anything, I wager. Should you? Probably not. Although some will argue that there is a time and place for everything. I say, the more you experience thoughtful connections, the more you recognise what connection feels like in different situations, and the more you learn how to connect – and let go – consciously. What you choose to connect with – and the strength of that connection – impacts everything else in your life on some scale.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll share some of who and what I connect with: In Me; Around Me; In Others; In Inter-connection.

Here are some of the things I connect with In Me:

how I hold my shoulders

any tension around my eyes

the alignment of my spine; my posture

my intentions for the day (or week, or month or year)

joy in my movement

unease in my heart

a song or lyric rising up

my breath

the intuition “ping!” to pay attention

hunger and fullness

energy flow

attraction to colours

thirst

my presence or distraction to the moment

desire to move or rest

areas of discomfort or pain

sensitivity of touch

how I see light and shadow

what it feels like to blink

tension in my jaw

a need to move

a need to rest

memories

dreams

how curious I am at the moment

Without judgement, what do you notice about you right now? What steps out and makes itself known? What do you have to think about and search for?
